a memorandum of understanding was signed between the iranian mines and mining industry development and renovation organization and the iranian telecommunication company. there are big companies in the ic field, such as the iranian telecommunication company, and we must be able to connect these mines , which are mostly scattered, with the help of friends. however, mining is a natural phenomenon and cannot be managed, and that is why we must.

connect them in line with a great national goal. the iranian telecommunication company also intends to connect the infrastructure of mines and industries with its fiber capacity . in the future, god willing, we are also going to provide information infrastructure. with the dedicated cloud that will be provided, god willing, with the cooperation of omid, we will be able to have that information transparency and that in fact, increase the exploitation of new minerals. based on the review and evaluation of international scientific institutions such as scopus , iran ranks first in the region in the field of neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience. according to the head of the neuroscience association , the results of the research show that with timely diagnosis of the patient,

cognitive empowerment and the rehabilitation process of patients are facilitated . the human brain has about 86 billion nerve cells that can be activated daily. process 50,000 thoughts. dysfunction of any of these cells can lead to disability and diseases. according to global statistics, one in every 6 people suffers from a brain and nerve disease. one of the important brain and nerve diseases that has no definitive cure is ms, but with the help of advanced treatment, if diagnosed in the early stages, it can be controlled and sometimes stopped. the medicine must be chosen well. the medicine must be chosen correctly. along with it, you must do good exercise. along with it , you must avoid stress. and along with it, you must have good nutrition. that means stopping it prevents a person from becoming disabled. in many patients, yes. it delays or even stops disability in about 70 or 80 percent of patients . parkinson's disease is also a disease.

today, with deep brain stimulation, the progression of the disease can be controlled to a large extent. these discussions about deep brain stimulation in our country started years ago. now, up to 500, for example, all of them have had surgically implanted electrodes in the brain to control the disease. currently, iran is the first country in terms of both skilled and efficient human resources and in creating an infrastructure for cognitive technologies. the region is successful. the national brain mapping laboratory, which is a laboratory. or even without a rival in the region, is hosted by the university of tehran, which is actually the national primate laboratory, which has no analogues in the islamic world. in the field of neuroscience research, iran is the first country in the region and a leader in science, but the lack of funds has led to a decrease in research in this field, and it is still necessary to increase the share of research in the gross national product . in the previous plan, it was supposed to increase from half a percent to one and a half percent , which is now 30 percent.

we must know that there are many factors in the occurrence of brain and nervous diseases play a role, and if we want our brains to age healthily, we must pay attention to them. one is not to create stress. if stress does occur, control it . three is to have a healthy diet . four is to do things that are creative. be creative. every job has its own job. and the fifth is to be in a social environment. currently, iran ranks 17th in the world in the field of neuroscience research and treatment. maryam beikpour, iranian broadcasting corporation. advanced atomic microscopes for imaging and determining the characteristics of samples at the nanoscale were produced in the country. according to the announcement predist technology park. these microscopes use a surface-scanning tool

to image or scan samples , where laser light shines on a piece of semiconductor to form an image of the sample's surface. according to researchers , the ability of these microscopes to capture images in different environments with a variety of designs allows scientists to study the structure and properties of living cells and other biological samples such as dna and rna, proteins, viruses, bacteria, and tissues. biotechnological product production to increase poultry industry productivity. according to the manufacturers, this product is produced from and is a suitable alternative to soy. a ghazvini researcher, with the help of genetic engineering, was able to produce a product from chicken waste that can be used in poultry diets

. the research we conducted revealed that our slaughterhouse waste is almost a lot of waste , and it would be great if we could convert this waste into a compound. one of the applications of this product is hydrolyzed creatine powder, which has been able to reduce soy consumption by 18%. of course, converting science into practice is not an easy task. we first extract the protein in slaughterhouse waste using biotechnological methods . we break these proteins down into smaller pieces, which we call hydrolyzed, and these small pieces are very easily absorbed. this researcher, along with his wife and a number of professors , spent 3 years producing this product . we tested this product on four groups of birds for 42 days , and we observed very good results in terms of feed conversion ratio at levels of 2% and 5%. we succeeded in

significantly increasing the feed conversion ratio in the diets of poultry and fisheries. we reduce and they have achieved better growth by consuming our product when it was used in their food rations . according to mr. gilabadi, the new policy of the central bank in the last 10 days has caused serious challenges in the field of providing and purchasing pesticides and fertilizers for the agricultural sector and reducing the purchasing power of farmers . we are discussing the differences, which do not include raw materials for production at all according to the directives issued by the central bank, and

in a way that they are now demanding that these products pay the difference from previous years . another problem is the issue of rationing. which really took the planning from the producer , the development department of the commercial development department of the ministry of jihad announced that since the beginning of this year , they have created a formula that we are not very aware of. if there is a rationing, it should be in a horizontal form and be specific and available to the producer himself so that he can actually plan for the years . and the secret knowledge of long -term and sustainable preservation of single-celled microalgae living in freshwater was produced by freeze-drying at the national center for genetic and biological resources of iran. with this method, it is possible to preserve microalgae

have been widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries, aquaculture, and poultry feed. according to researchers, these microalgae can be used in combination with natural dyes and soluble compounds . hello, all the good people

of iran. welcome to the economy desk today . today, at the economy desk, we want to talk to you about iran's observer membership in the eurasian union. let's meet. my guests in the studio are mr. seyyed mohammad sadegh qenadzadeh, deputy director of the trade development organization and kambiz mirkarimi, vice president of the iran-russia chamber of commerce. and of course, guests will also join us via video. mr. seyed ali darabi, a correspondent for the iranian broadcasting corporation from moscow , and mr. amir abedi, head of the joint chamber of commerce of iran and kazakhstan. as you heard in the news , the eurasian economic union summit in st. petersburg , russia , has started a few hours ago. our country's minister of industry, mining and trade is also present at the summit . one of the topics of this summit is the review of iran's observer status in this union. on sunday this week, the bill for a

free trade agreement between iran and this union was approved in the islamic consultative assembly. this agreement was signed in 1923 and was supposed to be implemented after being ratified by the islamic consultative assembly and of course the parliaments of the signatory countries, which is what happened . today at the economic table, we want to talk about iran's observer membership in this alliance. let's see what opportunities and capacities will be created for our trade with this union . i would also like to tell you that free trade is just beginning in our country with this union and we need to see what opportunities it will provide us with , so that our economy can grow further. let it develop. at the very beginning of the program , we have a report. we will review that report together . we will return to

the announcement of iran's observer membership in the eurasian union . it is part of the program of this union's meeting in st. petersburg, russia . the russian deputy prime minister considered iran's observer membership and the signing of the tehran-eurasia free trade agreement as access for iranian businessmen to the eurasian market of 190 million people . with the approval of the iran-eurasia free trade agreement in the islamic consultative assembly, there is not much distance

left until the implementation of iran's first free trade agreement with a total of several countries in january of last year. we signed a free trade agreement with these countries . over the past years , our economic cooperation has grown based on that preferential tariff, and we predict that it will grow much more based on the free trade agreement. the expansion of trade between iran and the eurasian union is expected to continue. the value of iran's exports to the countries of this union has increased by 21 percent in the first nine months of this year compared to the same period last year. aref jafari, iranian broadcasting corporation , yes. thank you to my colleagues in the foreign trade group for preparing this report.

as it has been said, if iran only accounts for 10 percent of trade, to acquire these countries and be able to carry out these exchanges with them , a figure equivalent to approximately $90 billion will be obtained for our country , which is very bearable in the first step, and god willing, we will be able to provide the grounds for us to use the benefits of this membership . now the question is. which was formed between these five countries in 2015 , its main goal was to

actually strengthen the economic ties between these five eurasian member countries, and well, it was one of the successful agreements because this union held its meetings almost regularly at various levels of ministers , prime ministers, heads of state, etc. it is currently being held in st. petersburg and is one of those unions that has very good internal cohesion and has been successful. iran also tried to establish its relationship with this union from the very beginning of the union, almost from the beginning of its formation. in fact, we started the initial negotiations for an agreement with this union in 1934 , which finally came to fruition in 2018 and early 2019. in november 2019, we actually signed a preferential trade agreement or a temporary cooperation agreement with this union. at the same time, iran tried to become an observer member. the most important thing about this union

is a kind of communication and a kind of strengthening of relations with this treaty, which is very important to us. the important thing about our observer membership is that when we become an observer member of this union , we do not have any specific legal obligations or obligations, meaning we are not required to comply with their standards or specific rules and regulations , but in this case, very good access is created . we can participate in the activities of this union and participate in their programs regularly. before us, three countries also had this observer membership, of course. uzbekistan, ecuador , etc. have achieved this. and we are actually the fourth country to gain this membership, but we are the first country to actually sign a free trade agreement with this union. now, if it is in your questions, i talked about that in detail. you just mentioned a point about the fact that if we are an observer member , there are no special obligations for us and we only

use the benefits of this membership . so, what obligations do we have to fulfill and why, if observer membership is so good, does it create obligations for us? it doesn't create any special circumstances . why do we want to become a permanent member ? well, it doesn't create any obligations . that's the nature of this observer membership in this union. when you want to become a permanent member , you have to accept a set of standards, rules, and regulations that govern between those five countries. and sometimes , we may not be in a position yet to necessarily implement those rules. observer membership currently seems like a very fortunate event for us, meaning it's more desirable for us. for us, this is a fortunate event for now, and we can use this to our advantage. let's use good things for the country . now, naturally, in the future, if we see that joining this union as a permanent member will create more benefits and

will not create any restrictions or specific obstacles for us, then naturally , we will move towards that as well . but i. my assumption is that currently, these two events, namely our observer membership and the successful free trade agreement , create enough capacity for us to be able to benefit from this for years to come. so, as a result, we are not looking for permanent membership right now . it is very much a priority because we do not have the infrastructure. that's right, overall. there is one issue, this obligation does not exist for us now, so do not try to do it . well, the islamic consultative assembly approved this agreement on sunday and it became a law . now, what is the next step? how should it be implemented? which organization or ministry is in charge of this matter? well, i really need to thank the honorable representatives of the islamic consultative assembly. i think we had several months of negotiations with friends in the assembly , especially the economic commission of the assembly, which was the specialized commission for this issue . several meetings of the research center of the assembly a few weeks ago, we in the commission itself

we defended this bill and friends with a decisive vote in the economic commission. the approval of the success letter and last week , in fact, since the beginning of this week , in the public forum with a full vote of 232, i think , in favor, one against, and 2 grateful votes , in fact, this agreement was approved, and this showed that there is truly a commitment and a complete convergence in the country regarding our joining the world's major alliances and trade agreements . the next step is to see. we signed this agreement in russia in january of last year, on january 4th. now, mr. aliabadi, at that time and now, different countries actually had their parliaments mandated to approve this because all countries had the same mechanism as us, and then they went to their parliaments. well, this happened last week in kazakhstan, the last of the five countries , and we were the only ones left. why

did it take so long ? it took us almost a year. look, this agreement is very detailed, or very big, in all areas. after all, it has a subject. it needed to be expert work. and it really seems like a good amount of time was spent and it was done on time because the commitment of eight or six countries was to this year, in fact, everyone should approve it, which, thank god, we have also imagined what the next step is. the parliamentary interview and then for it as a law of closure. okay, after that, in fact , our agreement with the five countries is to give them two months to create infrastructure, prepare for standardization

, possibly issues and documents , and discussions of this kind, and after two months, this agreement will automatically be implemented , meaning that the customs of our six countries and those five countries are obliged to apply it based on those definitions . now, those that are on the zero side or before that, i have to say that practically god willing, if the guardian council also confirms it and the speaker of the parliament communicates it to the government, this law of ours will start working in two months, probably early next solar year. well, it shouldn't be in the past year. in fact, the groundwork was prepared because it was clear that the parliament would definitely vote for this agreement. the groundwork has been prepared for all six countries to agree on this in two months. that is, it's not just ours . all six countries have reached this conclusion together , after giving it a two-month break, we will hold internal meetings in these two months. let's leave it, we know for sure that

the agreement is now in effect. now sit down and discuss some details . thank you very much, mr. mirkarimi. you are very welcome to this agreement . now you are in the chamber of commerce. i really think that the private sector will welcome free trade because it is a preference . you were talking about it a lot. what are the benefits for the member countries? in your opinion , what are the benefits for the private sector and the state-owned economy ? yes, in the name of god, let's see . the first one is our first experience. now , instead of a free trade agreement, it means iran has no history in this field , while everyone in the world is doing this, and we are saying that developing exports is our goal in our economic development plans. this is the most important tool. why do you think that a country with one company in one country with the same facilities as our companies can export billions of dollars, but our company with the same very

well-established and knowledge-based companies , we have very strong companies that are based on the benefits of half the country, but they do not have the ability to be present . the most important point is that all governments , countries, and policies are moving towards developing exports, everyone wants to they should have the most exports because in today's world, if a production unit wants to be established only for domestic needs, it will meet the country's needs and it will meet its own needs. now there is mass production and it cannot be done by a company. a factory is established here with a capacity of 10 batches, and production will be done in the domestic market. the same factory is working in malaysia, with perhaps a lower quality problem . why, because they have a free trade agreement with different countries and their goods can be delivered to the consumer without customs fees? well, someone who has a factory that has three shifts works with the factory. which works with 10% to 20% capacity, they definitely cannot compete with each other , this is where we will be eliminated from the global market

. fortunately, i was very happy that the parliament finally came to this conclusion in approving it because until now there was a lot of resistance. of course, one reason is, what was the reason? the reason, of course , goes back to sensitivities. finally, a number of industries that are here are worried that the products we produce will be affected because we give one concession and we get one concession. and we also have to open our borders for a number of industries in the other country. and if they ask, we will be affected. we invested in every field . look, iran has created many factories from the milk of the madam. maybe in a country like canada , which has had free trade agreements for years , it is working with different countries in 8 industrial fields on a large scale . well, in iran, we have investments in every field. of course , some of them will resist . however, in this region, at least

fortunately, we started with a good region. if we wanted to apply the free trade method with turkey or pakistan, it would be very marginal. you can even see how much marginal it became. we gave concessions to their textile products , their clothing, so now our clothing manufacturers are being excluded, why are they giving concessions? you didn't give them concessions, they only gave concessions to a certain part of agriculture , but in this region, you have to pay attention to the combination of goods that we export mainly. consumer goods, goods that are produced here with the highest added value, and we have them. we export everything from carpets and fruits to food and dairy products and all this, to plastics and products made from plastics. but what else do we have, 60 percent of which is of course agricultural food products? we have, but on the other hand, we are importing livestock inputs , inputs that are useful for our agricultural sector , wood, metal, iron and steel, we have all these, we are importing production facilities

from there and it frees up the front for us, and secondly , our producer costs will definitely decrease in those areas where goods are imported, so production capacity will increase and investment attractiveness will increase, whichever country has the largest number of goods.

mr. darabi, from now on, tell us what has happened in this summit so far, and what what changes have actually been made in these agreements ? now that i am at your service , we are in the same room where in a few minutes the heads of the five member states of the eurasian economic union and the minister of industry, trade and commerce of our country are going to gather around this table to officially announce the observer membership of the islamic republic of iran . the iranian flag is placed next to the flags of the member states of the eurasian economic union, as shown in the picture. considering that cuba and uzbekistan have also been introduced as trading partners , their ministers will be present at this meeting . well, these respected experts

talking. it is a very important event that can be a real economic opening for iranian traders, merchants and exporters. after the islamic republic of iran joined the eurasian economic union free trade agreement a year ago , now with iran's observer membership and iran becoming the main trading partner of the eurasian economic union, a large market with a trade turnover of about 800 billion dollars and a population of 240 million in northern iran is opening up for us anyway . consider how important it can be with the combination of the brics and shanghai cooperation organizations, mr. ebhab, honorable minister. iran's trade industry actually had two private meetings with the eurasian union's minister of economy and with some of the participating officials before this meeting, and a private meeting

as well. before the main meeting , which we are in this hall now and is the main meeting and has not yet started , there was a private meeting between the heads of the five eurasian union member states. of course, mr. vladimir putin and the presidents of belarus , kazakhstan, and kyrgyzstan were also there, but mr. pashinyan was present online due to the coronavirus. and here, in addition to the announcement that the islamic republic of iran will be a member, our main observer and partner. the strategies and prospects for cooperation and development between member states and new partners will be outlined next year , and at this meeting , important and key issues for cooperation between members of this union and new partners are to be announced. i am at your service. mr. dharavi, just tell us this point, considering that there were meetings held on the sidelines of the meeting

, what is the way these countries view our economy and what are our weaknesses towards them, so that this sustainable exchange can actually be carried out at least and we can only import from one country. let's not become a facilitator. look , we have been at the meeting place for about three or four hours now . we have had meetings and side meetings . we have talked with some experts and officials from our member countries . they all believe that this is a win-win deal. considering that the islamic republic of iran has great economic capacities, the islamic republic of iran has the latest knowledge in terms of technical issues, specialized knowledge, and many of the things that russia, belarus, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, and armenia need . on the other hand, it will be a big market for iranian traders, merchants, and exporters. on the other hand, the member states.
